Today we do a brief introduction to love accorinding to 1 Cor 13
agapé: Love
Original Word: ἀγάπη
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: agapé
Pronunciation: ah-GAH-pay
Phonetic Spelling: (ag-ah'-pay)
Definition: Love
Meaning: love, benevolence, good will, esteem; plur: love-feasts.
Word Origin: Derived from the verb ἀγαπάω (agapaō), meaning "to love."
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H160 (אַהֲבָה, ahavah): Often translated as "love," used in the Old Testament to describe love between people and God's love for His people.
Usage: Agapé is a term used in the New Testament to describe a selfless, sacrificial, unconditional love. It is the highest form of love, often associated with the love of God for humanity and the love that believers are called to have for one another. Unlike other Greek words for love, such as "eros" (romantic love) or "philia" (brotherly love), agapé is not based on emotions or feelings but is an act of the will, characterized by a commitment to the well-being of others.
Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, various forms of love were recognized, but agapé was distinct in its emphasis on selflessness and sacrifice. Early Christians adopted this term to describe the love that God demonstrated through Jesus Christ, particularly in His sacrificial death on the cross. This concept of love was revolutionary in a culture that often valued power and self-interest.
